On the buyer's side

About GetFreeCarCheck

GetFreeCarCheck gives every UK driver the free MOT, mileage, ULEZ and tax check they need before buying a car, plus a full history check on Experian data for £9.99.

What we do

Buying a used car is one of the biggest payments most people make, and the seller always knows more than the buyer. We close that gap. Type a registration and you see what the official records say: every MOT, every mileage reading, the tax, the ULEZ status and the recalls, free.

When you're ready to pay for a car, the Full Check reads Experian's finance, theft and insurance records for £9.99.

Our data

We built the UK MOT Reliability Index from 104.9 million MOT tests (2022 to 2024), so every one of our 551 model pages carries numbers nobody else publishes: how each car does at its MOT against cars of the same age and mileage, the faults that fail it most and the best and worst years.

Every number is computed from the official records and dated. See where our data comes from and how we compute it.
